"“If they let me play Mary,” Meg Stalter told Vulture in her Culturati 50 interview, “I’ll buy everyone in Ohio a car.” So congrats to everyone in the beautiful state of Ohio: You are all getting cars today, because Meg Stalter is officially making her Broadway debut as Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary! this summer."
"Stalter will take over the role from Maya Rudolph on July 6 for a limited, ten-week engagement. One big question remains: What will happen to Stalter's burgeoning pop career? Well, as she told Seth Meyers, she was going to keep making music until a role happened, and a role is happening, so maybe that's that for the “Prettiest Girl in America” for now."
"Besides: What was Mary Todd Lincoln if not the prettiest girl in America during the time in which she lived? Bet you didn't think that. It's a shame that Stalter won't be able to play Mary Todd with her platinum-blonde wig, but the bratty curls will suit her just fine."
Meg Stalter will make her Broadway debut as Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary! this summer. She will take over the role from Maya Rudolph on July 6 for a limited ten-week engagement at the Lyceum Theatre. The announcement follows Stalter’s recent high-profile television appearances, including a performance that prompted hopes for a Broadway stage role. Stalter also indicated she planned to keep making music until a role happened, and with the role now arriving, her pop career may pause for the time being. The production will require a different look than her platinum-blonde wig, but her bratty curls are expected to fit the character.
